We're currently in the final stages of sorting and verifying all of your shipping information and backing details now. If you haven't responded or don't remember receiving our survey, shoot us an email at capsulewallets@gmail.com.

Thanks so much for your support and enthusiasm for the Minimalist™. We're humbled by the experience and are working our tails off to meet the delivery schedule. Just a reminder that the only way to get a Minimalist™ this year is through the Kickstarter campaign (in case your friends are on the fence).</p><p>As we come to a close, please take a moment to review your pledge to ensure that you've entered the proper dollar amount for the color and quantity of wallets you desire (see the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gadgetomi/minimalist-by-capsule-the-definitive-essentials-wa#HowDoYouSeleTheColoAndQuanOfYourMiniPled" target="_blank">FAQ</a> for additional details). It is much easier to manage changes to your pledge amounts prior to the campaign close. Important: International backers, you only need to add $5 shipping to your order one time.</p><p>In the coming days, also be on the look out for a survey from us where you'll be able to respond with your desired shipping address and to confirm your quantity and color selections. After the campaign ends, we'll continue to send out periodic updates through <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gadgetomi/minimalist-by-capsule-the-definitive-essentials-wa" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a> and on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CapsuleWallets" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page to keep you posted on developments with the production (we're still on track for December deliveries!). </p><p>Thanks again for all of your support. We can't wait to get the Minimalists™ into your hands.</p><p>All the best, </p><p>Robert + CAPSULE™</p>tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/3333802012-10-22T03:05:11-04:002012-10-22T10:10:24-04:00Additional Photos of New Minimalist™ Colors<p>Hey guys, </p><p>As we mentioned in our previous note last Thursday, we've posted additional photos of our new Minimalists™ in Dark Chocolate (Brown) and Slate Blue textured leather.

THANK YOU!<p>We are deeply humbled by the incredible support and interest we have received for the Minimalist™. Prior to starting this campaign, we knew that our close friends and family loved the design, but we had no idea that we’d strike a chord with so many of you. We can't wait to get a Minimalist™ in your hands soon.</p><p>The past few days have brought about some exciting new developments. We hit our funding goal on day 5 and are currently 1,000+ backers strong. We also received media attention from some of the most popular tastemaking blogs on the web — Uncrate, Cool Material, Acquire and many others.</p><p>We're listening closely to your feedback and we've heard that many people are interested in additional color and style options for the Minimalist™. While we're excited about exploring a deeper product line, we've ultimately decided to maintain our focus on delivering the best Minimalist™ experience we can. There is already more than enough for our small team to do with fine tuning of the production setup, finalizing packaging options and working through logistics, that we decided to stick with the single black leather option, for now.</p><p>We're passionately working to meet our estimated delivery date and will continue to keep you posted on our latest developments.</p><p>Thanks again,</p><p>Robert + CAPSULE™</p>tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/3231092012-10-06T01:36:01-04:002012-10-07T07:38:36-04:0048 hour update: Early Adopter Sold Out, Exceeded 50% of Funding goal and Nearly 200 Backers<p>Hey thin wallet lovers, </p><p>Thanks for your amazing support over the last 48 hours.
